Take a Gospels Trivia Quiz

This quiz is designed to make Christians feel stupid. So if you're a Christian and you like to feel stupid, this quiz is for you!

Kidding aside, this a bit obnoxious. But if you can get over that element, it is a clever way to combat the tendency to harmonize the Gospels. Enter at your own risk:

Man ... it turns out, I don't know anything about the Gospels.

But I'm not discouraged. I figure, here's an opportunity to know 20 things about the Gospels for sure. So I printed every screen that explained my wrong answers. And I'm going to study those screens, and memorize them.

Mastery of Christian origins, here I come!

Aren't they all based on alleged or real contradiction so there is no way to get the right.

That is hilarious. I figured out within the first two questions about the "trick." But it was a fun and interesting way to look at it!
